Hyderabad, June 8 -- The Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TGNAB) has uncovered a network of Nigerian drug peddlers operating from villas in Goa. The month-long operation, conducted with the support of the local police, involved four teams that conducted extensive surveillance and groundwork to expose the cartel.

On June 4, TGNAB foiled a Rs 50 lakh hawala transaction in Goa and arrested three operatives, including Uttam Singh, Raju Singh, and Mahender Prajapathy.

According to reports, two teams had been monitoring the movement of cash at locations like Sangeetha Mobile Shop in Mapusa and Highland Park apartments. The bureau intercepted the money just in time before it could be transferred to international drug cartels.
